Job Search Engines
Everything You Need to Know

Job search engines use state-of-the-art technology to perform online job searches. Employment agencies now use job search engines to post job listings, in addition to posting jobs on their own job search websites. One of the advantages of these search engines is that they allow you to narrow your search by filtering out irrelevant information. New jobs are added to these sites daily or even hourly, so search results differ from day to day.

Some search engines yield better results than others because they can perform a targeted job search of major job search websites and companies, using a keyword and location. Search results can be obtained in the form of a browser list or sent to the job seeker via e-mail. The more effective job search engines can search by company, position, or even commuting distance. They also search job boards, prime newspapers, and numerous companies with career search pages.

There are over 24 million resumes in the Monster.co.uk job search website, and more being added every day. Therefore, if you do not update your resume daily it will be pushed out of reach very quickly, as most employers look for recently posted resumes. Ideally your resume should be in the top ten of the search results.

It makes sense to utilize a couple of niche job websites and corporate sites, in addition to the big job search sites. Be mindful of identity theft issues, as resumes contain a lot of information about you that could be used to steal your identity.

In most cases, you no longer have control over the way your resume is used after it is posted on a job site. These sites are mostly used by employment agencies and employers, but the database may be accessible to anyone who pays the membership fee to search for jobs online.

Problems could arise if your employer finds your CV on the job site. Some job websites give you the option to restrict visibility of your resume by excluding designated companies from the list of companies and employment agencies who can view your CV. This is a good option to have at your disposal.

Always read the privacy protection policy on the website. Note how information will be shared, and who can access the database; walk away if you think the data can be accessed by the public. Always limit your contact details to your town of residence, a mobile number, and an email address. Delete your resume as soon as you find a job.
